ORIGIN

This 1990 Mercedes-Benz Wolf 250GD was a Bundeswehr military vehicle that was refurbished in Germany before being sold to the previous owner in Texas. The work included a bare-metal repaint, a rebuild of the 5-speed manual transmission, and installing new seats, a Sachs heavy-duty clutch, 2″ suspension lift, 15″ Mercedes steel wheels, and more. Approximately 1k miles have been added to the truck since acquired by the selling dealer in August 2017, and he’s serviced the non-original OM602 five cylinder diesel engine with new batteries and an oil/filter change. The truck is described as running strong and is now being offered with a clean Texas title.

A bare-metal repaint was commissioned and performed in Germany along with rust prevention measures. Optional equipment includes the original snorkel kit, grill guard, front indicator cages, extended wheel flares, rear jerry-can/plate holder, and tire carrier with matching spare. A new vinyl soft top was added after the paint work was completed, and aftermarket LED taillights were installed.

Metal surfaces inside the cabin were matched to the exterior color during the paint work. Four seats upholstered in black MB-Tex material have been installed.

A Kenwood head unit with Bluetooth capability delivers sound through a custom two-speaker pod that is wrapped in matching textured vinyl and located under the dash. The gauges are reported to function as they should, and the 80,590 kms (~50k miles) shown on the odometer are considered accurate by the seller.

Power comes from a non-original 2.5-liter OM602 five cylinder diesel engine that is paired to a rebuilt 5-speed heavy duty manual transmission that includes a low gear function. A Sachs heavy duty clutch has been installed, and the truck features full front and rear locking differentials. The seller serviced the engine in November 2017 with new Interstate batteries and an oil/filter change.

Several photos showing the condition of the undercarriage can be seen in the image gallery below. No records from prior ownership exist, though receipts from the recent service by the seller are included.
